I'd love to have children one day. I'd also love to have a nanny for them some day. Having to babysit on kids before has really shown me how much work those little brats can be, and how adorable they are. I'd say in a year or 10, I'd be down for it.

Most people have said that they won't have kids.
Guarantee that 20 years from now, most of you guys will have kids.

20 years from now I'll be almost 50. Well past the age where I should be having kids safely.

Never mind the fact that I've always known that I didn't want kids. The response of "you'll change your mind some day!" is a common one given to people who say they don't want kids. And while there might be times that that's true--people can change their minds--there's plenty of people who are secure in their decision to not have kids, even if they're young.

Nope... I'm not at all interested in having kids at the moment. I like my freedom and don't want my life to revolve around a child even if they are my own. Doubt my 'kid switch' will turn on anytime soon but we'll see, I suppose? I'm 24 and already at the age where some of my relatives are wondering why I haven't produced an offspring, lol.

UUUGGGGH I came here to complain about the same thing! Now that I'm 24 and have been with my dude for over 4 years, both of our families (and friends) keep making "lol you need to prepare for when you guys start having kids!!!!" comments. Never mind the fact that we are no where near engaged or married. You'd think with our more conservative families that they would wait until then to start passively pressuring us but nooooo.

This is nothing new for me though. I've never wanted kids and have been vocal about that for as long as I can remember. Children and I just don't click. I don't want them and I keep getting older and people keep saying "just wait, you'll change your mind!!" and while maybe they're right, I just can't see it. Most people look in their futures and know they want kids. I look into mine and go all the way to retirement and never think to include them in my plans.

TL;DR, no thanx. I barely even like the idea of marriage, let alone the children that are expected to accompany them.

I've thought about this SO MUCH! I honestly don't know, I feel like having kids and starting a family would be a good life but I also feel like I'd be missing out on a lot of experiences if I had a family. I'm just going to let life run its course and whatever happens happens.

I want kids so that I can become a kid again and play with them and tell them stories. It will be so much fun!

But not yet, gosh. I have a career or two to pursue and also I kind of enjoy focusing on myself for a change. God knows I needed it more than I knew :3

I'd never have children, but I love the idea of adopting some older children who wouldn't otherwise have a home since there out of the generic age bracket for adoption, maybe an 11 or 12 year old.

I'm so happy to see the amount of people who would choose adoption over having biological children of there own, there are too many children without a family who need it :)
